    Been lurking here for the last few months but I'm one of the bigger PJ fans around so this was enough to make me sign up, well done!

    My question:

    What advice would you give someone at the start of their career who wants to work in football admin, and what makes someone good at the job? Its impossible not to be inspired by what you've achieved since you started with us.

     

    Welcome to Demonland.

    Are looking into getting into football admin?

    Does he offer Demons members discounts on his suits? 

    Or his cigarettes? And what about any of his movies?

    I can actually picture his answer and the exact look on his face upon being asked said inane questions.

    My actual question would be about what would be the best way for us to maintain our upward momentum? Too often we as a club have gotten very self satisfied at this point and proceed to shag everything up.

    My questions to Peter Jackson would be...

    1) Besides winning games of football, what does the Melbourne Football Club need to do continue to become financially successful?

    2) What advice would you give to Gary Pert when he takes over the reigns as CEO of the Melbourne Football Club?

    Does he grow tired of hearing junior staff members refer to him as "Peeeeeeteeerr Jaaackson" when they think he's out of ear shot but actually he isn't?

    Is the interview prerecorded or live? If live it’ll coincide with the closure of trade week so it’d be good to get PJ’s assessment of trades, player contracts given they appear very flexible and what he thinks of trade week in general.

    We pre-recorded the interview this morning to accommodate Peter. We will air it at the top of the show and then @Grapeviney, @Nasher and I will discuss the trades.

    What are his thoughts on Bartlett as head of the board? People on here have denigrated Bartlett, it would be good to hear PJ thoughts on him and the board as an overall compared to his time at Ess.

    Speaking of them, I know this is a Dees podcast but it would be amazing to hear PJ thoughts on the Ess drug scandal.
    Does he think it was right for the players to be punished under the WADA code? Did the club take enough responsibility for it?
    Are all clubs now fully onboard the WADA code?
     
    What does he he think of the ridiculous nature of the trade period now days?
     
    Can he give us and understanding of what kind of preparation/time goes into the end of season delist/trade/draft period? How many people at the club are involved? How often during the season do they meet to discuss the salary cap, players staying, players
    maybe coming in? 
     
    Is there 1 thing he is most proud of from his time at Melb?
    Is he a Demon for life now??? :)
     
    Lota of qs but would be good to get a real sense of some of the inner workings of this stuff, not the same old “what was the club like when you arrived? “Stuffed”” type questions.
     
    PS awesome get gents!!!

    Sorry ?

    The 3 mins I spent thinking up those qs, was 3 mins well spent away from the Hoges thread.

    Hope it went well, can’t wait to have a listen to it.

    The man doesn't eat biscuits. He eats cement direct from the mixer.

    Can you ask what Peter thinks about the muppets on here that think they could negotiate trades better than Josh Mahoney and how they could best help next year?  E.g.should they come down to the club and advise or do they serve the club best from behind their keyboards.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
